Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow 21/1?

[MrsMummyBx]

Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow? Want to be diet buddies? Im 14st7lb my heaviest ever at 5ft4. Need some motivation and willpower. Going to be doing meal substitution with shakes twice a day to kickstart my diet. Was meant to start early in January but it didn’t happen and I’ve slipped. Will be doing My Fitness Pal too.

Reckless don't be hard on yourself, thyroid issues cause havoc and once you've got the correct medication, I'm sure it'll help. The fact that you haven't gained is great and sometimes it doesn't show as a scale loss straight away. What about NSVs? Clothes feeling looser?

Thanks all. Still sporting a bread baby - just not as big as it was! I've been eating normally today as I'm SO hungry. Brown wholemeal ham and pickle roll and a jammie dodger so far. Sigh!

Thanks everyone I'll be okay, I don't like pity parties just finding it hard at the moment. thank god ive got you all to moan to

Fingers crossed the doctors can sort you out reckless! Oh Boggle I bet you won't have gained though! So glad you feel better about it all

I don't like pity parties either but you know we are here if you need us ok? Having suffered with MH issues for a large part of my life, I know how you feel. Here is a wine for you

Reckless, are you sure 800 cals is enough? Or your once a day meal? Perhaps you need just a wee bit more? Don't be too hard on yourself please. Wine for you too

Hi ladies hope you all had a good bank hol. I’m back on the healthy eating tomorrow - I don’t have any energy and think eating rubbish isn’t helping.

@reckless what are you doing for your diet now? One meal? You are doing so well on your losses.

Hi all, I'm really convinced that the thyroid is the problem. One day of eating "normally" - a roll, a biscuit and a salad and I'm back up to 13st 4.5lbs this morning! Yikes! Oh well, I'm back at the docs tomorrow for the 3rd repeat of the thyroid function test and will wait and see. I'm frankly mystified as I can't imagine that my chicken/quiche/ham/egg salad with about a tablespoon of coleslaw could amount to more than 500 calories at most. Beyond that I only drink tea with a tiny splash of milk apart from one JD and coke in the pub on a Friday lunchtime. It's odd! Hope the rest of you are doing better than I am. Hugs to all those struggling with their MH though.

Hi ladies sorry for being AWOL!! Been away in our caravan for bank holiday weekend, had a great time but my eating wasn't too great I've had pizza, burger, chocolate etc but in my defence I've done loads of walking and me and DS both did park run near where we were staying. I think it's unlikely I'll have lost anything this week tho.
Hope everyone else is well, I'll catch up with posts properly later as just heading off to hospital appointment now- find out if my broken finger is fixed!

Thanks very much Boggle!

Reckless* maybe your body isn't getting enough calories - sometimes when you eat too little, it hangs on to absolutely everything!

Lost half a pound this week.
Pretty pleased with that, something of a miracle considering how much I ate over the weekend!!
Went zumba last night though and planning to run either tonight or tomorrow morning on my day off

Sorry for late post. I'm back at 13st 3.5lbs again - I've been stuck here give or take a pound for the last 6 weeks. I've been for my blood test so hope to hear from the docs in the next couple of days and will take it from there. It's our wedding anniversary today - 43 years - no idea where the time went! We are out to swanky restaurant tonight so hang the diet for today. I'm thinking one day won't make much difference in the scheme of things. Hope everyone is doing O.K and well done whether you've lost or not! @emily at least you're going in the right direction which is better than I'm doing over here.

Hi ladies

@reckless happy anniversary! Wow that’s amazing 43 years :-) hope you had a lovely meal. You’ve done so well with your weight loss since the beginning, a plateau is so annoying but I’m sure you will start to lose again. Thyroid is a nightmare for weight loss, I have never managed to lose much weight since I was diagnosed but i am awful with what I eat and I also know people with under active thyroids who are really skinny too (not sure how they manage that?!). Weighed myself on Wednesday at 13 st 9 so same as last week :-)

Well done Emily!!

Omg congratulations reckless that is seriously impressive! I hope you enjoyed your meal and had a lovely day.

I'm skipping weigh day this week as I'm a wimp

Haven't weighed in either Tinsel and defo ordered pizza last night. DH and I aren't well though (not due to the pizza!) so I can't imagine I'll eat much today. Maybe I'll weigh in tomorrow!

Happy Anniversary Reckless, amazing!

Well done Emily 👍🏻

Happy anniversary reckless, hope you enjoyed your meal out.
I don't blame you for missing the weigh in Tinsel, I nearly did too cos I thought it'll only make me feel bad if I've gained!
I've not been eating too badly the last few days though I did have a magnum ice cream last night. Didn't run either cos it was p1ssing it down both yesterday and this morning!
Off to make poached egg on toast for my lunch now x

Thanks everyone for the lovely good wishes. Very scary how time flies when you're having fun - 43 years gone just like that. Had a lovely evening and back to the grindstone today. No complaints! Haven't heard from the docs yet about the blood result - last week they phoned the following day which I found surprising. Not being good at all today - had toast for lunch and DH has just gone out for fish and chips. I think I'm waiting to find out what the doc says before I make another plan on my weight loss journey. It's DD3 and DD5's birthdays next week so they'll be home this weekend. Have afternoon tea at the fancy pants garden centre planned for Saturday and roast dinner at the gastro pub in next village on Sunday. I'm not being good at all! Just under 5 weeks until my holiday and still not a pretty sight in the cossie!

10st 5lbs today.

12st 5lbs!!! Not 10! I wish!

I was about to kick off then!!! sorry I'm being a fat bastard and not replying - deadlines are looming at uni!! Catch up soon

Just updating, haven't spoken to the docs yet but my blood result is on my record so I have seen it - looks even worse than the last one. I will ring them on Monday as nobody has rung me yet. I haven't been behaving myself at all and the diet seems to have gone tits up although I am still being mindful! This weekend is a write off on account of DD's birthdays - swanky afternoon tea today and big roast out tomorrow. Will make a plan once I've spoken to the docs on Monday then back on it with a vengeance.Just going to enjoy the weekend I think. Hope you're all keeping up!!

Oooo have a lovely day!! Hope your results get sorted sooner rather than later!
